“THE BEST! When simba and I originally met Brandon and William we knew we had found our dogs best companions! They were so gracious to invite us in and show us the space Simba would be staying in. On Simba's visit we were always provided updates and photos. Brandon and William are so kind and loving, your pet will go to the best home. Truly so appreciative for their care! Thank you!”
“This was my first time using a sitter and I couldn’t be more pleased with Joan and her husband. They took such good care of my dog for two weeks and she was very happy staying with them. They took her on walks, gave her such loving care. I will definitely use them again.”
About: I have taken care of my family members’ and friends’ dogs. I take them out for walks and follow their schedule, if they have one. I am a part time student and can look after and or check in with your pets whenever needed depending on my own personal schedule. I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets in my home. My backyard is fully fenced, and I have a friendly dog who is well-socialized with other animals. I always supervise interactions and closely monitor pets for any unusual behaviors or signs of stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, to help your pet(s) feel secure and comfortable.
“Brandon was very nice & so accommodating in receiving Khaleesi & Khaldrogo; After last minute arrangement with him. They were there for less than a day & Brandon was a life saver as I cant have fur babies in the resort. He was the most reasonable rate as well for 2 of my pets. He shared that he provided beds & toys for my pets. He even added chicken to the doggie food when my picky doggies won’t eat. I would use Brandon again as my pet sitter. Thank you Brandon.”

“Cant believe it! I told them all about a dog that had anxiety and who pouts when we go away and that would sit and mope waiting for us..... What happened? Gracie our dog loved Michelle and her husband so much that didn't have any anxiety- only love for her new friends that took such wonderful care of her! She was pampered and loved- had lots of walks, playtime and snuggles. I highly recommend booking Michelle to take care of your beloved dog.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Desert Shores home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Desert Shores.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Desert Shores sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
